CI made of us lately for information in relation to the taking of the census, ^ by those who desire to make applica- i tions for appointment as enumerator, j 1 we repeat the following points of the ^ law. There will be one enumerator j, - - L - 3 A appointed lor every *,vui* peu^ie. j The compensation allowed ennmera- 91 tors will be, for every inhabitant 2 I , cents; for every death reported oc-, ti caring within the year 2 cents; for i si every farm 10 cents, and for eachjr establishment of productive industry ^ 15 cents. This will cover all expeuses c, of mileage, etc. It will, however, be j si descretionary with the Supervisor to j0 allow $4 per day, instead of the above j tj compensation, where the population j y is so sparse that it will not pay to j w work at 2 cents a head. There are F provided, fines and forfeitures, and j w even imprisonment, for neglect or! si refusal to do the work prescribed in j tt the oath taken by the enumerators. ^ ' e1 The census must be completed iu J lL thirty days from the 1st of June, j ti Under these provisions of the law,; no Lexington County must have as j ^ many as three enumerators. The j Supervisor of this census district, we 01 are informed, has decided to increase j Ci the number of enumerators, decrease ; 01 the territory allowed each oue, limit j1 the number of days for each enumera- j tor to complete his returns of the | ^ district assigned him, and allow a i ^ compensation of $4 per day. Ap- ja plicants for the office of enumerator must address Maj. Harry Hammond, Supervisor, 2d S. C., District, Beach I w Island, S. C. iCv As a matter of information we give! ^ the populatian of each township of! the county by the census of 1870: Black Creek ... 474 j Boiling Springs - - 354 j * Broad River ... 1,11G ; w Bull Swamp - - 933 iv' Chinquepiu - - - 2531 Congaree - - 1,095 j b< Fork - - - 1,352 Ui Gilbert Hollow - - 872 jv' TTnllnw ProoL* . _ . 1 PI I, J v< ??Lexington - - l,5Gif: u Piatt SpriDgs - 67$ j ?

Go to work and ^ ai make a memorandum showing as near ^ as possible the actual amount aud w value of the products of last year, j & This will include everything raised on ;11 the farm, as well as stock, animals, j etc. The names and ages of each 11 member of the family will be required. It will facilitate the work of the enu-1 0 merator very much if this work is:, V I 111 prepared beforehand. If you have; fc neighbors white or colored who do j not read the papers, and who may be ^ ' : II ignorant of the purport of a census, | explain it to them so they may be ? nrenared to answer without hesitation r< Remember that the euumerator has n nothing to do with the assessment of j jproperty for the purpose of taxation.! v All persons above the age of 21 years 1 who shall refuse to furnish iuforma-111 tion to enumerators will subject them-! ? selves to fine and imprisonment j p inooeeeot! The Abbeville Press and Banner |a " -- HI savs: - ? i "The Lexington Dispatch, if wo are ; u not mistaken, a few weeks ago as 0 leader of those favorirfg primary elec-! s tioos in that county, iutimated that 0 unless that plan was adopted, the v Fall elections could not be car- j w ried by the Democratic party of a this State. When such a sentiment; g ic moHa it n.fiotiQ tvlion t Uil?UWj *V " MVM V* UUO?l*l,V\4 into plaiu Euglish, about this: 'If weip cannot have things our own way, we a will allow the Republicans to win.'" f. If instead of contenting itself with n the saving clause "if we are nou mis- " taken" the Press and Banner had ex- j ercised its usual journalistic diligeuce it would not have so widely departed from its usual journalistic correctness. Inasmuch as the Dispatch neither jj said or intimated anything of the (] kind, the column editorial which the ii Press and Banner devotes to the subject has no application so fur as the 8 Dispatch is concerned. We must add i that we think the Press and Banner e displayed a want of journalistic cour- g tesy in not citing the article of the a Dispatch to which it refers, when so g s rions a charge is made and so much I f its valuable space is devoted to taking it so prominent. The Press >ul Banner with its high sense of mrnalistic propriety will doubtless take the amende, honorable. HE STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND ITS WOBZ. The Cbairmau of the State Demoratic Executive Committee has issued :e following circular to the County hairmen, under date of March 25, 5S0: In the recent call for a convention, ) assemble on the first of June next, i rVilnmhirt. the State Executive omuiittee, among other thiugs, dered to submit to the convention it?lf when it assembled, the question bether the nomination of the State cket should be made then or at a absequent time. Had the commit?e omitted to name, among the obicts for which that convention was died, the nomination of State offisrs, they would, practically, have asimed to decide the matter in favor f a second convention. It is impormt tlmt this view of the action of xe committee should be presented to our respective county conventions hen they assemble to select deletes; and you are requested to lay before them, to the end that the ishes of the party may find expresou, and the delegates be advised of ie desire of their constituents. Uni; aud harmony are paramount to rery other consideration. The comlittee has implicit faith that the aeon of the convention, whatever it iay be, will insure the success of the emocratic party. If the explanation contained itf this ?i - i._ J reuKir uuu ut*cu ciiiuiatcu iu ill of the Executive Committee much aeasiuess would have been saved le press of the State. It will be seen om the circular that the County onveutions will have the power to scide if a second convention be held ; a later date for the nomination ot Date officeis. No doubt the dele ites from the county conventions ill be instructed to vote for a second invention. at Others Think of Colonel Aiken. In relation to the letter from Col. ikeu to the Xemand Courier, which e publish in this issue, the Lauresille Herald well says: "Col. Aiken in this matter, as in )me other matters for which he has een tukeu to task touchiug his stewrdship, has fully and satisfactorily indicated himself. In due deference ) a few persons who may bold ad?rse opinions, we regard Col. Aiken ) be as conscieh&ous, zealous, patritic and able a Representative as any tber State affords; and he is at the ime time independent in thought nd action. He has a head of his wn, and he thinks and acts for bimdf. He borrows the ideas of no san, and always holds himself ready > give an account of his actings and oiugs. That's just why we like him nd for that reason we want him reirned to Congress. He is just now ell broke to the harness, and is a lithful Representative. It's a good lie to let well enough alone." The following is au extract from a itter from Lexingtou County signed Farmer," published in the Register f the 28th: "I believe the present will be the ist administration uuder the present >rm of government. Carlisle said "Great Britian has veuty-seven millions of inhabitants? lostly fools." How far are we reloved from that expression ? When !ol. Aiken expressed his opiniou in ifereuce to the National Democracy ominating au independent candidate -I suppose such a man as David )avig?he would command more otes and respect from the North, 'his \va9 about the gist of his offeudng. And for this he must be read at of the Democratic party and ther names proposed to take his ilace from one end of the Cuogresional District to the other. "This ras the most unkindest cut of all." mau that has labored .more earnestly hau anyVvher in Jndetest of gricnlture?an occupation that gites jaint nance and prosperity to every tber vocation in life. Farmers hould see to it that no ring, clique r any other power shall displace one ;ho is their right hand bower. I rill take the liberty of quoting from letter received from the Commisioner of Agriculture at Washington: Col. Aiken is a gentlemao whose mrity of life, independence of char cter and signal ability nave given aree to the earnestness of his efforts, ot only in behalf of his constituents nit of the agricultural interest of the Jnited Spates."

SciTFLETONlAN. Glasgow, Scotland, Match 00,1880. Mr-ssrx. Editors:?You know I am a cash subscriber and a devoted read er of the Dispatrh. arid take an interest in all the locul affairs of your county, especially in the Inv affairs of huchelors and old muids. As yon invite<l an interpretation from some of your readers, of the sentimental epistle from "Dnckie" to "Dear Will," published in your last issue, I offer yon the suggestion that "Dear Will" is in love, hut is timid ami stands shivering ou the hank althoiiyh "Duckie" is trying her hest to draw him out. My advice to "Dear Will" is to pitch right iti and stick his head under the cover and the shiver will he over in a few minutes. Thar ain't any more trick in getting married than thar is iu eatiug peanuts But, "Dear Will" don't expect "Dnckie" to bean angel; they have beeu picked up long ago. Remember "Dear Wili" you aiut one yourself. Dou't marry exclusively for beaaty; beauty is like ice, awful slippery and thaws dreadful easy; but then don't marry for luv alone; luvis like a co"kmg stove,good for nothing when the fuel gives out. But let the mixture he some beaut y, some mutiny. a god speller, lmndy and neat, pleuty of gud sense, tough constitution and by-laws, small feet, a light step, sound teeth and a warm heart. This mixture will keep in any climate and will not evaporate. If the cork happens to be left out, the strength ain't all goue "Deur Will." And finally "Dear Will," don't marry for pedigree, unless its backed by bank notes. A family with nothing but pedigree generally lacks success Ever thine, Josh Billings Congressman Cbristiam-y, who is suing for a divorce from his young wife, says if he ever marries again he will take a girl who can't clasp her bands to her dear sainted mother in heaven. Wrong man! entirely wrong; there's where her mother ought to be if you intend to rule the roost.
